This is a classic RPG from way back in the day. The Ultima series is classically known as a great PC series but a few of the installments were ported to consoles. This is installment 6 of the story. Its actually a pretty good port. The color and sound are actually better than the original. Unfortunately two things cause this game to be not as good as the PC version. 1: the game was compressed to fit onto the SNES cart. In order to do this the programmers had to removing things like character portraits, some of the intro, party size reduced from 8 to 6, etc. Little things you probably wont miss unless you played the PC version. 2: Nintendo censorship. Nintendo had a blacklist of words and images that could not appear in their games. This unfortunately can take away from the plot. There are a few things that were censored from this game that made it a little better. Despite its flaws this truly is a good game. The in game world is enormous with plenty of places to explore, an interesting plot, and side quests to fill many hours of enjoyable game play. I heartily recommend this game to anyone looking for a good RPG on the SNES. The only person I would not recommend this to is someone who has played the PC version and would be disappointed seeing anything (no matter how small) taken out.Read full review
As this is one of the very very old school RPG's for the SNES, I brought to see it it lived up to it's reputation. It definately had a good story line and lots and lots of gameplay. The only negative point was relearning this type of gameplay...sort of strategy/platform/rpg rolled all into one...if you want to go back in time and do old school play, then I highly recommend this game.
Love this game
